Exposed Brick and Concrete Emphasizes The Exterior of This Distinctive Residence in Tamil Nadu | Murali Architects

Architect Murali Murugan has envisioned an orderly abode of diverse families in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu featuring a distinctive facade of exposed brick and concrete. Sprawling over 7.6 acres, the project is tucked amidst a blissful landscape area of trees breaking the monotony of the concrete jungle. It has a humble dry stone gateway that opens into a mini forest landscape with a canal flowing around the home which could only be a mirage in the hot climate of Thanjavur. The architect shared more details about this striking-looking project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Take a look:
